$350.00
SKU: 730D-7
Dimension: 10.38"H x 16.63"W x 1.50"D
Dimensions: 10 ⅜” H x 16 ⅝” W x 1 ½” D
A small but intriguing Italian baroque (18th century or earlier) carved wood fragment from a cabinet or other piece of furniture, built with dovetail joinery as this piece would indicate by the shaped edge. In a strip across the front, illuminated by the patinated remains of gold leaf are deep-relief carvings of botanical elements and C-scrolls emanating from a central cartouche. Flashes of blue and red pigment (or perhaps the red bole under the gilding) are visible in certain areas to give further dimension and vitality to this sculptural work. The weathered appearance and areas of loss only serve to underscore the unique history that this fragment can bring to a gallery wall collection. We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.

English Early 20th Century Bloomsbury Folding Screen
$4,400.0096"H x 95"W x 0.75"D
Dimensions: 96” H x 95” W x ¾” D
English, early 20th century hand-painted folding screen in the style of the Bloomsbury Group, circa 1910-1930. This collective of artists, authors, and other intellectuals were sometimes infamous but very prolific in their output, even opening up a storefront named Omega Workshops where this incredible screen may have been purchased. Its four identical panels–all handpainted–replicate the same stylized images of foliate, figural, and Neoclassical themes that layer into an arresting tableau of diverse references that beg for a narrative to be strung together. The color palette features a teal border with fine, black foliate pattern dotted at the corners with a yellow buttercup; a pale yellow background over which thin foliate vines have been painted; a cartouche at the top filled with a dagger-carrying female figure; additional bust figures at the midsection, and urns with anthemion motif anchoring the lower third. The panels can be positioned to use as a self-supporting room divider or privacy screen, even mounted to the wall as a mural; the reverse side does show evidence of prior water damage and discoloration. We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.

Framed Set of 18th Century Portuguese Tiles
$650.001.25"H x 11.75"W x 11.75"D
Dimensions: 1 ¼” H x 11 ¾” W x 11 ¾” D
The artistry and industry of Portuguese azulejos tiles is a tradition that dates back many centuries; as a practical, architectural surface to cover both interior and exterior walls without missing the opportunity to make a strong visual impact. This collection of four, patinated tiles from the 18th century has been more recently assembled into a panel set in a wooden frame to appreciate the charm of their handpainted design (hence the subtle variation between them) incorporating stylized floral motifs rendered in blue, green, gold, and lavender glazes on white-slip clay. Whether used in place of a trivet on a table, displayed on a surface, or hung on a wall this inspiring memento will delight in any interior.

Italian Pair of 19th Century Giltwood Appliqués
$8,400.0033.25"H x 15"W x 4.50"D
Dimensions: 33 ¼” H x 15” W x 4 ½” D
A stunning pair of Italian 19th century giltwood wall appliqués–decorative elements to enhance the architectural program–likely obtained from a church or cathedral as they are flat and unfinished on the backs, intended to be viewed from front. The Eternal Flame urn forms are handcarved with stunning Neoclassical motifs and textures that not only conveys the power of the church but also the lasting influence of the Empire shaped by Napoleon’s vision. At the top of each urn is a textured, waving flame that would have been illuminated by candlelight to magnify its aura. Pairs of eagle heads–iconic symbols of the period–are mounted on each side of the urn’s shoulder with an amber glass rosette embedded in between them. Festooned swags emphasize the curvature and fullness of the urn which is revisited again where the form tapers toward the base as fluted carvings mixed with additional floral-foliate references unifying the exuberance of the design. Block feet painted the color of red bole elevate the urns to stabilize them on a table or mantel. Note that evidence of wax is still visible on the backsides, confirming their historic age.
